After stints as a manual laborer, dishwasher, bartender, 
				restaurant manager, commercial photographer, magazine editor and 
				public relations executive, Michael W. Sherer decided life 
				should imitate art—he’s now a freelance writer. He’s published 
				five novels in the Emerson Ward mystery series (An Option On 
				Death, Little Use For Death, Death Came Dressed In White, A 
				Forever Death, and Death Is No Bargain). Island Life, a 
				stand-alone thriller about an ordinary suburban father's race to 
				find out what happened to his missing wife before he loses his 
				children, his freedom and possibly his life, comes out in March, 
				2008.
